Catholic leaders and nuns carry the relics of Sister Irene Stefani, a colonial era nun who died in 1930, in the rural town of Nyeri before a mass near the slopes of Mount Kenya May 24, 2015. An Italian nun, who tended the sick and wounded in World War One in east Africa and died in 1930 in Kenya, was beatified on Saturday, taking the final step before sainthood at the first ceremony of its kind in the African nation. To grant Sister Irene Stefani the title "Blessed", the Roman Catholic church said a miracle had been attributed to her during Mozambique's civil war. REUTERS/Herman Kariuki
